Found and old Roku 2

[shadow_man]

Hi,

Found an old Roku 2 at home.

Can this be used for Netflix like the Roku 3 can?

What are the main differences (other than lack of motion sensor for games / no usb support).

I'd like to find out what this box is capable of.

Thanks,

One day I'd also like to just *find* an old Roku 2 at home. Must check under all the beds later!

Just saying...

You mean this information is freely available to everyone on the internet?

The old Roku 2 models are the Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD and Roku 2 XS. They use a different processor (BCM2835) from the current generation Roku 2 (BCM7218). There are only a few channels which are not currently available on the lower end processors such as YouTube and 4oD.

I have 2 Roku 2 XS's and 2 Roku 3's. We use Plex, Netflix and Hulu on all of them with no probs.

I am looking for another Roku, so if you decide it should go back under the bed or something - I will take it off your hands for you (as long as the XS)
